Nice, Do you know it name Rocky? If not I try to suss it out,

I do, it’s a herbaceous clematis ‘Hendersonii’ it has a habit of not tanglingly deviating, it just goes straight up😊. Great for covering boring areas.

Sorry I forgot to post this hosta, it’s a Clematis Montana Marjorie. Hoping image works below.

Hurrah, it worked. Small flowers, quite unusual, reaches around 4 metres I think, so not a bully like most Montana’s.

I have a similar in ‘Broughton star’ early doubles trailing off to singles.

Rocky, Is the picture of the Blue clematis the same clematis you show in pink? Does it change colour in full flower?

Yes, we have one of these as well Rocky, quite a dark pink.  Lovely plant, less of a spread than usual Montana.

Hosta, are you possibly mixing up Rocky’s Hendersonii, with my photo of Freckles? Both have rather downward drooping flowers. Apologies if you aren’t.😁

Have you got these? The pink one is Princess Diana but I've lost the name of the pretty little lilac one. They do well in shade and we've had good cuttings from them too. They're in flower now and will repeat. smile

Not got either of those brue, but interested as I need a nice climber, not too invasive for shady spot. Thanks, will investigate further.😁

We lose quite a few Clematis (wilt?) so we have only got the Princess Diana thanks to cuttings. We grew Marjorie, it was fantastic then died on us! frown
